Cold plasma method and apparatus for eradication of the taxonomic class insecta

摘要

A system for eradication of insects, insect larvae, and insect eggs includes an applicator, a plurality of nozzles, a gas source, and a cold plasma generator. The applicator is adapted to be moved by the user over an area to be treated. The plurality of nozzles are disposed on the applicator. The cold plasma generator is in electrical communication with a power supply. The cold plasma generator is in fluid communication with the plurality of nozzles and the gas source. The cold plasma generator is configured to generate cold plasma from the gas source and configured to expel a plurality of cold plasma plumes through the plurality of nozzles that forms a cold plasma field. The cold plasma field is generated at a power and a volumetric flow sufficient for the eradication of the insects, the insect larvae and the incents eggs from the area to be treated.
